an exchange of money or goods; a legal settlement

⚠️ The trap

In Italian law, 'transazione' primarily means an out-of-court settlement (ending a dispute by mutual agreement). In business more generally it means a financial transaction. English speakers may default to only the financial transaction meaning.

To say "an exchange of money or goods; a legal settlement" in Italian:

transazione (transaction/settlement)

"transazione" in English means:

transaction; settlement (of a legal dispute)

Example

"Le parti hanno raggiunto una transazione stragiudiziale."

"The parties reached an out-of-court settlement."
